if ci_badges.map(&:color).detect { it != "green"} ☝️ let me know on Discord or RubyForum, as I may have missed the notification.

if ci_badges.map(&:color).all? { it == "green"} 👇️ send money so I can do more of this. FLOSS maintenance is now my full-time job.

👣 How will this project approach the September 2025 hostile takeover of RubyGems? 🚑️

I've summarized my thoughts in this blog post.

Compatibility

Compatible with MRI Ruby 2.3+, JRuby, and TruffleRuby. CI workflows and Appraisals are generated for MRI Ruby 2.4+. This test floor is configured by ruby.test_minimum in .kettle-jem.yml and may be higher than the gem's runtime compatibility floor when legacy Rubies are not practical for the current toolchain.

The amazing test matrix is powered by the kettle-dev stack.

✨ Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add gem_bench

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install gem_bench

⚙️ Configuration

GemBench reads the active Bundler/RubyGems installation by default. Pass a Gemfile path or finder options to GemBench.find, GemBench.check, or the corresponding command-line entry point when the target project is not the current bundle. There is no global configuration file.

🔧 Basic Usage

Works with Ruby >= 2.3.

Examples

Getting tired of seeing this `irb` warning, perhaps?

$ bundle exec rails console
Loading staging environment (Rails M.m.p)
irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context.

Find out what gems may be causing it by defining context!

>> require 'gem_bench'
=> true
>> bad_context_maybes = GemBench.find(look_for_regex: /def context/).starters
[GemBench] Will search for gems in ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0@foss/gems", "/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0@global/gems", "/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0@foss/bundler/gems"]
[GemBench] Detected 11 loaded gems + 2 loaded gems which GemBench is configured to ignore.
=> [byebug, diff-lcs]

Then find the file with the first occurrence of the regex in each:

>> bad_context_maybes.map { |bcm| bcm.stats.map(&:first) }
=> [["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0@foss/gems/byebug-9.0.6/lib/byebug/command.rb"], ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0@foss/gems/diff-lcs-1.3/lib/diff/lcs/hunk.rb"]]

Find what gems have `RAILS_ENV` specific code!

Let's try to find what libraries might be using a conditional guard to alter their behavior in a specific Rails environment.

# Not a perfect regex, but pretty good: https://rubular.com/r/b7tdIoYOVQM2RR
# RAILS_ENV == "development"
# Rails.env.development?
# Rails.env == "development"
# ENV["RAILS_ENV"] == "development"
# ENV.fetch("RAILS_ENV") == "development"
>> require "gem_bench"
=> true
>> conditional_rails_behavior_regex = /(ENV(\["|\.fetch\("))?rails(_|\.)env("\]|"\))?( == "|\.)development/i
>> conditional_rails_behavior = GemBench.find(look_for_regex: conditional_rails_behavior_regex).starters
=> [rack, actionpack, actioncable, actionmailer, rubocop, railties, rubocop-ruby2_7, sass, sass-rails]
>> print conditional_rails_behavior.map {|gem| "#{gem.name} has Rails.env condition in #{gem.stats}" }.join("\n")
rack has Rails.env condition in [["/Users/pboling/.asdf/installs/ruby/2.7.8/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rack-mini-profiler-3.1.0/lib/mini_profiler_rails/railtie.rb", 1154]]

Basic Gemfile Analysis

Fire up an irb session or a rails console and then:

>> require 'gem_bench'
=> true
>> team = GemBench.check({verbose: true}) # verbose: true => print output, verbose: false => just returns a GemBench::Team object you can inspect.

Here is an example irb session where I have installed only gem_bench, rails, and bundler. For the first run I don't require any gems besides gem_bench.

∴ irb
>> require 'gem_bench'
=> true
>> team = GemBench.check({verbose: true})
[GemBench] Will search for gems in ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/gems", "/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@global/gems", "/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/bundler/gems"]
[GemBench] Will check Gemfile at /Users/pboling/Documents/src/my/gem_bench/Gemfile.
[GemBench] Detected 0 loaded gems
  (excluding the 2 loaded gems which GemBench is configured to ignore)
[GemBench] No gems were evaluated by GemBench.
[GemBench] Usage: Require another gem in this session to evaluate it.
  Example:
    require 'rails'
    GemBench.check({verbose: true})
[GemBench] Evaluated 0 gems against your Gemfile but found no primary dependencies which can safely skip require on boot (require: false).

For the second run I require 'rails' as well, and now I can see which rails dependencies are required at boot time. I am in a project with a Gemfile, (gem_bench) but it doesn't depend on rails.

∴ irb
>> require 'gem_bench'
=> true
>> require 'rails'
=> true
>> team = GemBench.check({verbose: true})
[GemBench] Will search for gems in ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/gems", "/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@global/gems", "/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/bundler/gems"]
[GemBench] Will check Gemfile at /Users/pboling/Documents/src/my/gem_bench/Gemfile.
[GemBench] Detected 14 loaded gems
  (excluding the 2 loaded gems which GemBench is configured to ignore)
[GemBench] You might want to verify that activesupport v3.2.13 really has a Rails::Railtie or Rails::Engine.  Check these files:
  ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/gems/activesupport-3.2.11/lib/active_support/i18n_railtie.rb", 146]
[GemBench] You might want to verify that actionpack v3.2.13 really has a Rails::Railtie or Rails::Engine.  Check these files:
  ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/gems/actionpack-3.2.11/lib/action_controller/railtie.rb", 248]
[GemBench] You might want to verify that railties v3.2.13 really has a Rails::Railtie or Rails::Engine.  Check these files:
  ["/Users/pboling/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@foss/gems/railties-3.2.11/lib/rails/application/configuration.rb", 245]
[GemBench] If you want to check for false positives, the files to check for Railties and Engines are listed above.
[GemBench] 3 out of 14 evaluated gems actually need to be loaded at boot time. They are:
  [SUGGESTION] 1) gem 'activesupport', '~> 3.2.13'
  [SUGGESTION] 2) gem 'actionpack', '~> 3.2.13'
  [SUGGESTION] 3) gem 'railties', '~> 3.2.13'
[GemBench] Evaluated 14 gems against your Gemfile but found no primary dependencies which can safely skip require on boot (require: false).

See that? Only 3 of the 14 gems rails loads need to be required when your app boots, technically! However, in order to prevent loading them we would have to make them primary dependencies, listed in the Gemfile, which isn't really the best idea. Moving on... If you run the check against a real app's Gemfile it will find numerous primary dependencies that don't need to be required at app boot. See Advanced Usage :)

In a random directory, in an irb session, where there is no Gemfile in sight it will give a lot more information.

Advanced Gemfile Analysis

In order to also see list gems may not be required at boot time you need to:

Make sure you are in the root of a project with a Gemfile
Make sure the gem is actually a dependency in the Gemfile

So here's a [fat Gemfile][bundle-group-pattern] weighing in at 265 gem dependencies. We'll use it for this example:

∴ bundle exec rails console
Welcome to RAILS. You are using ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22 revision 39386) [x86_64-darwin12.2.1]. Have fun ;)
Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.13)
[1] pry(main)> a = GemBench.check({verbose: true})
... # snip # ...
[GemBench] If you want to check for false positives, the files to check for Railties and Engines are listed above.

gem_bench found 45 gems which are listed as primary dependencies in my Gemfile which I can add require: false to. After adding require: false, try all these locally:

running your tests
starting the console
starting the server and using your app
running rake tasks if you have any special ones

When doing these, you will probably encounter errors saying that a library is not available. You should then add require "foo" where the error happens. Keep in mind that if this is in an initializer or environment file, you aren't saving any time when the rails server is booting. However, it does save time when running a rake task that does not invoke the environment (some do, some don't). So, if you don't think saving this time is worth the minor additional code complexity, you can exclude the require: falses in these cases.

After adding your require: falses, run gem_bench again. The gem's logic isn't perfect so it sometimes will find new suggested exclusions.

How much faster will my app boot loading 45 fewer gems? A bit.

Note: Some of the gems in the list above should have been excluded. They are now excluded as of gem_bench version 0.0.4.

🦷 FLOSS Funding

While galtzo-floss tools are free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding. Raising a monthly budget of... "dollars" would make the project more sustainable.

We welcome both individual and corporate sponsors! We also offer a wide array of funding channels to account for your preferences. Currently, Open Collective is our preferred funding platform.

If you're working in a company that's making significant use of galtzo-floss tools we'd appreciate it if you suggest to your company to become a galtzo-floss sponsor.

You can support the development of galtzo-floss tools via GitHub Sponsors, Liberapay, PayPal, Open Collective and Tidelift.

📍 NOTE
If doing a sponsorship in the form of donation is problematic for your company from an accounting standpoint, we'd recommend the use of Tidelift, where you can get a support-like subscription instead.

Open Collective for Individuals

Another way to support open-source

I’m driven by a passion to foster a thriving open-source community – a space where people can tackle complex problems, no matter how small. Revitalizing libraries that have fallen into disrepair, and building new libraries focused on solving real-world challenges, are my passions. I was recently affected by layoffs, and the tech jobs market is unwelcoming. I’m reaching out here because your support would significantly aid my efforts to provide for my family, and my farm (11 🐔 chickens, 2 🐶 dogs, 3 🐰 rabbits, 8 🐈‍ cats).

If you work at a company that uses my work, please encourage them to support me as a corporate sponsor. My work on gems you use might show up in bundle fund.

I’m developing a new library, floss_funding, designed to empower open-source developers like myself to get paid for the work we do, in a sustainable way. Please give it a look.

📌 Versioning

This library follows for its public API where practical. For most applications, prefer the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

📌 Is "Platform Support" part of the public API? More details inside.

Dropping support for a platform can be a breaking change for affected users. If a release changes supported platforms, it should be called out clearly in the changelog and versioned with that impact in mind.

🤑 A request for help

Maintainers have teeth and need to pay their dentists. After getting laid off in an RIF in March, and encountering difficulty finding a new one, I began spending most of my time building open source tools. I'm hoping to be able to pay for my kids' health insurance this month, so if you value the work I am doing, I need your support. Please consider sponsoring me or the project.
